Emergency dental care
What is emergency dental care?
Emergency dental care addresses situations that cannot be left untreated — such as severe pain, trauma, infection, or bleeding — by first rapidly relieving the complaint and then resolving the underlying problem permanently. The goal is not merely to relieve pain, but to save the tooth and surrounding tissues.
At ÖzbuDent, emergency walk-ins are prioritised over scheduled appointments. Our on-call dental service means examination, X-rays and treatment are available during evening and late-night hours as well.
Which situations are dental emergencies?
Severe, throbbing pain, facial swelling and abscess, a tooth knocked out or broken by impact, uncontrolled bleeding, and a lost filling or crown all require urgent evaluation.
What causes toothache?
The most common cause is tooth decay that has progressed and reached the dental nerve. Abscess, gum inflammation, an impacted wisdom tooth, a cracked tooth, and extreme sensitivity can also cause severe pain; the source is confirmed through examination and X-rays.
Is a painkiller enough?
No. A painkiller only temporarily masks the complaint; the underlying decay or infection continues to progress. Every day of delay reduces the chance of saving the tooth and increases the complexity of treatment.
